Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber
Chapter 23
The battle in Eastern Xinjiang became more and more intense.Rao Feng Tang led troops for many years, but he couldn't resist the enemy's turbulent approach.
The vicious battle between Rouran and the Celestial Dynasty lasted for three years.
In the sixth year of Qianyuan, the army in the eastern border retreated to Kyoto with a tendency of defeat.People in the frontier fled everywhere, and a war provoked by a small country on the border finally defeated the big country in the Central Plains in Shangguo's dream.
The war between the two countries, how can the people be blamed?In the bustling city of Kyoto, the road is full of hungry people.
From the breath of death in Eastern Xinjiang slowly extending to the capital, even the princes and princes who were drunk and dreaming of death began to wake up from the dream of prosperity, and finally realized that the enemy's sharp blade was attacking them.
The princes and descendants who have always only enjoyed themselves will not fight back even if they realize that danger is coming. Their first thought is-negotiate peace!
In the imperial study room, the emperor Longyan was furious, and stretched out his hand to sweep the imperial case, and saw pens, ink, paper and inkstones, memorials and other objects scattered all over the floor.
The palace people knelt down on the ground shivering, "Your Majesty, calm down."
Xu Ru stroked his gray beard, his face darkened.At this moment, even he can't make any choice. Since the founding of the Celestial Dynasty, there has never been a precedent of actively seeking peace. If this dynasty makes an exception, future generations will be ashamed of it.But now the war has been going on for a long time, the national treasury is empty, coupled with the heavy casualties, the people are living in poverty, and if the war does not stop, they will be sinners through the ages.
At this time, both the monarch and his subjects fell into an unprecedented confusion.
This stalemate did not last long. Although Feng Tang was good at fighting, but the sadness of the old man who was invincible, and the battle with Rouran became more and more unstoppable. Facing such a critical moment, the emperor finally asked for peace.
The matter of peace talks naturally complied with the thoughts of the four kings and eight princes. Anyway, as long as the country is not destroyed, other things will be taken care of by the emperor.
The person sent to negotiate peace this time is none other than Prince Teng, the emperor's confidant.
Although Wang Ziteng started his career as a martial artist, he is capable of writing and martial arts. His influence in the army and among civil officials can be seen. As a peace negotiating minister, he can reduce the intensification of conflicts between literati and military officials, so he is a perfect candidate.
In Jia Lian's view, there is naturally no problem with the peace negotiation this time.Although Rouran has strong soldiers and horses, war is a double-edged sword, and both sides must be injured. Rouran is a small country, and this real burden is really hard to bear.It's just that the tiger is sent away, and I don't know if the wolf behind is ready for the fangs.
After Wang Ziteng received the order, he began to prepare for the peace negotiation. He also thought that he didn't have any capable family members around him, and thought that his nephew and son-in-law Jia Lian was also a sensible person. Besides, as a newcomer in the court in recent years, he occasionally showed some talent , thinking that it would be a good thing to take it with you to practice and experience, so he invited the Holy Spirit again, and dragged Jia Lian into the peace negotiation team.
"Uncle Lian, are you really going to the frontier? I heard it's very dangerous there." Jia Rong asked worriedly. The past few years of martial arts practice had made the vulnerable young man look much stronger, with a frown on his face. It also adds heroic spirit.His complexion was even darker than other men in Jia's mansion.
Jia Lian's black rattan-patterned outfit, matched with that gentle and polite face all the year round, is very harmonious.At this time, he was cleaning a bow and arrow with horns, and he didn't turn his head back. "Looking at the current situation, it can't be called safe anywhere. You have stayed in this prosperous place in Kyoto for many years, but you don't know the dangers of the world."
Jia Rong touched her head when she heard the words, and said, "Uncle Lian, nephew, can my nephew go with you?"
"No." His tone was crisp.
Jia Rong was indignant, "Why can't I go? My nephew also wants to meet the hero who's able to hold a bow like a full moon" mentioned in the book, and also wants to see the magnificence of the army of millions."
Jia Lian shook her head with a faint smile, and put the polished bow and arrow into the wooden box, before turning around, her black eyes were cold.
"You are the eldest son of the Ningguo Mansion, and you will inherit the family business in the future. Will your father let you go with you?"
"I..." Jia Rong retreated.Indeed, although his father is usually negligent in disciplining him, but now he has only himself as his son, and may not let him go to that dangerous place.
Jia Lian was also satisfied to see that although he was young, he had grown a lot.I couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I heard that your father found a family for you. You have to learn to run the family."
Speaking of marriage, Jia Rong couldn't help feeling better.A few days ago, I secretly went to see the girl from the Qin family, and she was indeed extremely gorgeous and pretty.Thinking of the girl's slender figure again, my heart began to burn.
Jia Lian couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Jia Rong's scene, which looked like a young man's first love.
"Second Master, Eldest Master asked someone to find you." Liu'er lowered his head and said in a low voice.In the past three years with Jia Lian, he has been influenced by his master, and he is no longer as careless as before.
"En." Jia Lian responded softly.Putting on the wooden box lid, tugging at the cuffs, he walked to Jia Amnesty's Rongxi Hall with a calm expression.
Jia Rong was still thinking about the beauty of the girl from the Qin family, and only came to her senses when she saw Jia Lian walking away without saying a word.Looking at Jia Lian's cold back, Jia Rong rubbed her nose, "Uncle Lian needs to change his temperament, then the eldest daughter of the Wang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Wang Xifeng has also turned 16 years old. According to the customs of 15-year-old Jiji, she is just the right age to talk about marriage.At this time, the re-marriage between the Wang family and the Jia family has once again come to the fore.
For Jia Lian, it doesn't matter what kind of woman he marries or who he marries with.Although this woman's natal family is powerful, and she has an aunt who is always eyeing her side, but these will not have the slightest impact on her.How can a woman control anything about herself.It's just that the timing is too inappropriate now.At this time, I went to the frontier, I have other plans, if I get married, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape.Wouldn't this great opportunity be missed in vain?
So when Jia Amnesty came to inquire about his marriage with the Wang family, he refused. "Master, my son thinks it's inappropriate to get married at this time."
Jia She was shocked when he heard this.This marriage with the Wang family was what he had been looking forward to for so many days.Although they are now able to head the family and establish a household, the power of the Wang family in the court is unmatched. If this marriage can be concluded, it will be beneficial to his own son and the entire Jia family in the future.So a few days ago, Mother Jia reminded her a little bit, and she suddenly realized, and hurried to discuss the marriage with her son.It's just that after all the calculations, I didn't expect that my son would resist this marriage.
"Lian'er, you have to think clearly, the eldest daughter of the Wang family can't wait until her age." Jia Amnesty tried to persuade this son who was becoming more and more assertive, even the real master of the house.
Jia Lian gently waved his folding fan, and changed into a crescent-white brocade robe and jade belt, and he looked like a handsome young man again.It's just that at this time, his eyes are not as harmless as Mr. Pian Pian. "Master, my son has his own opinion on this matter." The tone was unquestionably firm.
"Uh..." Jia She was inevitably choked by his son, seeing his son's cold face, he was speechless for a while.
"Master, now that the frontier has not been settled, it is not the right time for my son to get married at this time."
Jia She's old face was stunned, he opened his mouth, and finally spit out softly: "Okay, it's up to you."
Over the past few years, Jia Amnesty has understood a truth: there must be a reason for what the son says and does, and everything must be based on the son's opinion.It is also because of these that in the past three years, I have been able to sit firmly in the position of head of the Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that Jia Amnesty hadn't said a word, Jia Lian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.The eyes are slightly squinted, and the long eyelashes cover the expression of the pupils.
"By the way, how is Yingchun's studies going?" Jia Lian was more concerned about this younger sister's upbringing than her concubine brothers.Previously, a female wife was arranged, and later she asked someone to find a Miao Mo who had just come out of the palace to be educated.In addition to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is also necessary to educate everyone to be a lady, so as not to be too small-minded and too petty in the future.In addition to being talented, a woman is more important than a heart.The so-called caring for the world is not just a man's patent.Of course, these ideas naturally originated from the legendary princess who stayed in the country back then—Princess Kangping.Jia Lian felt that even if a woman could not learn to be as smart and courageous as her mother and concubine, if she had a three-point similarity, it would be very remarkable.
When Jia She heard this, he wondered what he meant and was asked, "It took a lot of money to invite those masters recently. And the newly purchased clothes and jewelry are too expensive." After all, my daughter is going to get married in the future. Humans, according to what Jia Lian said, it is okay to think that a daughter-in-law is good at education, but spending so much money has to break Jia Amnesty's old heart.
When Jia Lian heard this, she raised the corners of her mouth, raised her eyelids slightly, and said with a smile, "As soon as the expenses are paid, they should be written off from my son's account. Yingchun can't be short."
Seeing Jia Lian's expression, Jia She realized his slip of the tongue and hurriedly said, "Of course, Lian'er, don't worry, she's indispensable, hehehe."
Now that the father and son have reached an agreement, the following things will naturally go smoothly.
The marriage between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng was delayed again and again by Jia Amnesty.Fortunately, recently Wang Ziteng was busy negotiating peace with Rouran, but he didn't care about his niece's marriage. Wang Xifeng was a person who was waiting to be married, so he was too embarrassed to mention it, so the pressure from the Wang family was much weaker.As for Jia's mother, although she mentioned a few words in the open and in the dark, Jia She didn't say anything, and she couldn't do anything about it. After all, she was no longer in charge of the Rongguo Mansion.
On the contrary, Mrs. Wang is quite concerned about Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's marriage.Thinking of his savage niece coming in, the kid in the big house will have to be subdued. At that time, I will mention a few things, and the position of the head of the big house will naturally return to him .Besides, with the help of my niece, my brother can take care of me more, and I have more power in this house.However, the eldest sister-in-law of the Wang family was seriously ill at this time, and Wang Ziteng didn't have the heart to deal with it, so Mrs. Wang could only worry about it.
When everyone in Jia's mansion was thinking about each other, a "guest" from afar came to Jia's mansion.
